Doesn't matter... Yahoo shareholders become MS shareholders. The question isn't if the business units were once Yahoo make money under MS, the question for current Yahoo shareholders is only if MS share price will go up more than Yahoo's share price if the merger doesn't happen. Yahoo shareholders get a nice head start on that price appreciation since they are being offered a 70-something percent premium for the Yahoo shares. That's several years of price appreciation in advance for saying "yes".
